    I looked at that site lastnight but don't know to much about them. Procede with caution.

    Run as fast as you can from that site and dont look back. Researching that site is the reason I found this forum. You will get infinitely more money by selling to one of the buyers here.

    Think I recall a few people having bad experiences with those people. Try to search the forum for info but I think you should stick with the buyers on here.

    DO NOT USE THIS SITE. I know from personal expierience. I spoke with the owner many times and hes about as bright as a 2 watt light bulb. They claim they will deal with any weight you have but are not willing to work with you if you send them less than 5,000 lbs. They will rip you off. STAY FAR AWAY......

    I used them long ago. I sent in a few hundred pounds of low grade (brown) boards. I didn't have a buyer at the time, and thought they were junk. I wound up getting $8.xx for them.

    I have also heard horror stories of people sending in many pounds of motherboards, and getting less than $5 for it all.

    I would never use them again. They won't give prices before, basically because their prices are terrible.

    Get with Ewasted or Easyrecycles and you can't go wrong and I'm positive many will agree with me.

    Yeah, that was my thread. It was a subsidiary company from CashforGold and they bought the computer scrap. I had 27 # package sent to them that contained mother boards, sound cards, video cards, network cards, some cd rom drive boards, and 2 cell phones. I got a whopping check for $3.14
    Here is the complete thread;

    Check out the buyers posts and most of them have "glowing" reports that you can read up on. Find one you feel comfortable with and email them the pics. The buyers have their prices posted. One buyer will even help out with the shipping to them.

    Being from Cali, You'd be better off with Easy. He's way closer. Both men will treat you very well and prices are comparable. I would never stray away from what works well...... This forum is the best internet community I have ever been involved with...... i don't even go to any other forums anymore.

    You must have a lot of pliers you seem to have one in almost every picture.

    Also i see you are taking off the aluminum from your mother boards. leave it on. you're just throwing away money by taking it off.

    I use them all the time for my low grade stuff. Never use them for mid grade or high grade stuff.

    I don't have any buyer here in town for low grade boards. I have to do something with all the power supply boards. I pack them up in 40 - 50 lb boxes, get a free shipping label from this site and 2 weeks latter get a check for $4-$10...

    If I had to ship these to Easy or any of my other buyers it would cost more to ship then I would get from the buyer.

    This is the only time I would use this site. If you have a scrap yard that buys low grade boards, use them... if not, that is a great use for this company.
